Thabo Sefolosha is coming off his second season with the Utah Jazz where his minutes were cut significantly, but that has little to do with why his wife wants him out of town.
The free agent remains in the free agent market because his wife has a request for him to not re-sign with the Jazz, because she doesn’t like how conservative Utah is.
Via NZZ:
“Sefolosha’s wife had suffered in the conservative state, in which rigid moral concepts are widespread, and could not develop. During her career she has always put her own interests and needs behind her and made great sacrifices,” says Sefolosha. “Now she has spoken out against another engagement in Salt Lake City. Compared to the past few years, when Sefolosha had to make similar decisions about his sporting future, he now involves the family much more in the planning.”
No use in re-signing with a team where he wife would be miserable, and as the old saying goes, “Happy wife, happy life.”
It’s time to move on.
